Bleeding in pregnancy

arealbasketcase

Dippychick, I've decided I know what to say:

"if you had my phone number and didn't ring and ask for the support a friend could give, I would be really upset!"

So ring someone now, go on, now!

Please go to hospital.

Just go - now.

It's not what you want to hear, but you need to be there.

You are not going to be bothering anyone. You need to take someone with you. No one is going to mind.

If you are miscarrying, you need to be in a safe place if you are losing a lot of blood, and if you aren't, then hospital is the best place for you both.

Thinking of you and I am saying prayers for you both too.

Could it not just be the cervix playing up again though?

If it was a miscarriage he would have spotted it this morning.

If it's just the cervix, you won't have lost anything by being checked again.
This morning was a while ago - whatever it is has moved on since then. I can't agree that the doctor would have spotted a miscarriage - if that's what it is. He might not have had enough evidence at that point.

Hi. I could not read this thread and just not comment. Hun, I think you need to do as advised and go back to hospital tonight. I'm sure your firends etc would feel happier that you got in touch with them than not. I know if my friend were in trouble I would feel terrible if she felt she could not ring me if she had a problem. I'd feel so guilty if something happened and I couldn't be there for her.
Please go to the hospital tonight-you will be in the best place and as others have said you will be at the front of the queue for a scan.
Take care

Think I am A Negative Rhesus so if it were miscarriage they would give the Anti D. I asked them that today but I think it is only if it IS the baby causing me to bleed (or loss of baby).

I wasn't aware that the Anti D helped you conceive - I know it protects the next baby though

ummm sorry not sure about the conceiving bit, but definite on the keeping of the next.

Awful as it, i cannot carry girls, my body 'kills' them, although I've managed one live birth and a few miscarriages.

And i agree, if i was your mate and you didn't ring me when you needed some help i would be concerned that you felt you couldn't call me.

If i lived near you, I'd have the car in first gear by now.

PS Top Gear had finished now so no excuse

I've got such a bad head cold that I am coughing which is aggravating it

Chatting to my friend now who says internals can encourage miscarriage!

I've got to go in a minute - but I hope you will go and get yourself checked hun. Avoiding it won't make anything better, facing it just might.
Will be praying for / thinking of you.

Is she a doctor/midwife? If the question of internals bothers you, you can raise it with the hospital, at least they can advise based on wider experience and they may be able to do a blood test or other tests to see if you are miscarrying.

Pleeeease get on down there... you shouldn't be bleeding.

Do what you feel is right for you. Anything that is invasive can encourage a miscarriage, but it is not a definite. I know last time with my son i waited until the morning, as at weekends, in my hospital too there are no scans etc until Monday morning. I would say listen to your body, rest, if the bleeding gets very heavy go in to hospital, or if accompanied by pain go straight in, just have a friend on stand by.

If they think an internal will make things worse they won't do it. go to hospital.

sadly, if a miscarriage is going to happen then nothing can stop it. But you will be in the right place.

I tend to be very pragmatic and had already miscarried twice. I knew it was going to happen again, so carried on my shift at work and then went in to A&E. The doctor's words haunt me - "if only I'd got there sooner." In four miscarriages that lost pregnancy hurts me the most. In my head I know that it probably wouldn't have made any difference, but honestly, I do wish I'd gone to hospital as soon as I started bleeding. It haunts me 20 years (and two lovely daughters) later...

Take a friend with you if it helps... just go.
